Executive Director
Jules Lawrence BScN RN CPedN (C)
Jules first started at Sherbrooke Lake in 2000 as a junior camper. Since then she has grown as a CIT, Counsellor, Christian Ed, Leadership Team, Assistant Director, Director, a Camp Council Member and currently sits on the board of directors for the Camping Association of NS & PEI.
Working with kids at camp inspired Jules to dedicate her life to working with children. Following her graduation from St.FX’s Nursing program, Jules went on and worked as a camp nurse for Brigadoon Village followed by Diabetes Camps of Canada’s Camp Lion Maxwell.
After working contracts as a travel nurse throughout Canada in Neonatal Intensive Care and Public Health, she came back home to stay during the pandemic and work at the Emergency Department at the IWK. Currently, in the camping off-season, she works at the IWK Health Centre in the Pediatric Medical Unit, ED and teaches at Dalhousie University’s School of Nursing. Wearing both her nursing hat and camping hat, she sits on the Board of Directors for the Canadian Association of Pediatric Nurses to "create healthier, safer camp policies and standards to improve the care for kids at camps!"
Camping is in her heart and soul. She loves singing “I’m a Nut”, building fires, and sleeping under the stars with her camp family. Jules has her bags packed, her sleeping bag rolled and can't wait to come back home to Sherbrooke Lake Camp for another summer of fun!

2024 Summer Camp Director
Maddie Stewart
"Hi Everyone!
My name is Maddie and I’m so unbelievably happy to be returning to Sherbrooke Lake Camp this year as the Summer Camp Director!!
This will be my 9th summer at Sherbrooke and there is so much to look forward to! Specifically, I can’t wait to play capture the flag, jump off the raft, canoe in the lake and sing songs at campfire point! In addition to all things camp, I love bird watching, board games and music!
Through the fall, winter and spring, when there’s no summer camp, I get to do the next best thing; I’m a teacher in the AVRCE! Thank you for taking a minute to get to know me! I look forward to getting to know our 2024 summer staff and welcoming campers, both new and returning, through the gates for another amazing season"
Leadership & Wellness Director
Jade Veinotte
We are SO excited to welcome Jade back for a second year at Sherbrooke Lake Camp! She's finishing up her last year in her Bachelor of Education Program at Acadia University! On graduation, we all know she's going to be the best teacher!
Jade was born and raised in the South Shore, so Sherbrooke Lake is very close to home! Last year she was known for her excitement over little things, taking special moments to get to know campers and staff alike, and her contagious laughter. Jade is by far one of the best comedians in Franey Corner - you simple have to get to know her first!
Jade is so passionate about mental wellness, the outdoors, and kids! She did such an amazing job in 2023 and we're so excited to see what's next for this year!
